Got my boot today! Excellent quality. Will hopefully get it installed tomorrow. Thanks for making this "obtanium"!

The roof gasket will be coming soon. I expect to have a small batch available by next week. It's patterned after the ultra-expensive OEM part # 63168-90307, but will be much more "obtainable" at $150.
The windshield spacer seal is now available in my shop as an OEM offering. I've determined that this is the best price point for this piece, as it'd be tough to develop an alternative that's significantly cheaper while still maintaining OEM level quality.

Have you considered the plastic "T" pull handle from early FJ4x seats? I don't know the part # but there are a couple of photos on SOR's websitehttp://www.sor.com/cat118.sor
I'd venture to guess everyone has at least one broken one in their truck with that style seat. I think someone used to make a reproduction, but as far as I know not anymore. Not sure if it would be economical, but I'd buy 4 of them for the next time mine broke which they inevitably will...

Sweet! Let me know.

I take it this is made entirely of plastic? If so, this is potentially something that can be 3-D printed at a Microsoft Store.

The U.S. market only got about three hundred '83s and no '84s, so I have no idea what the boot looks like. If you can show a pic of an old one, I may be able to tell you.

Want to see a video in which every Cruiser wears the Euro spec mirrors? Check it out.

Posting more than I know
Couldn't help it - I sent them a question asking why the bezel was upside down. We should all do that. He would be like "WTF?"
NICE looking BJ!

That's not rust, it's Canadian patina...
Better yet, suggest that they purchase an "OEM inverted bezel correction kit"

Not the easiest thing to photograph in its entirety, but the roof gasket is now available! I am providing a couple of close-up photos so that you can see in detail that the pattern matches OEM part # 63168-90307 ...I swear I am not photographing an OEM gasket! You can see additional pics and descriptions by clicking on my sig.

The plan is to keep the items in stock. If something runs out of demand (e.g. if everyone that ever needs an inner shift boot got one), then it becomes build to order.

'74 FJ40 - my first!
There goes more money into the Cruiser fund... That roof gasket is beautiful!
Dang, Racer...I'm like ginmtb above...Now I've got to come up with more money for you...that gasket looks great! (though I expected nothing less)
Don't know if it has already been suggested but how about reproducing the early '63-'67 defrost hoses that come out of both sides of the heater and run behind the dash? Racer65, thanks for taking this stuff on! You are doing quite a service for all of us fellow cruiser owners.
